Love & Other Drugs is a 2010 American romantic comedy-drama directed by Edward Zwick. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Jamie Randall, a charming pharmaceutical sales representative in the late 1990s who rides the Viagra boom to professional success while falling in love with Maggie Murdock, played by Anne Hathaway, a free-spirited artist with early-onset Parkinson's disease who resists emotional commitment because she doesn't want to burden a partner with her deteriorating condition. The film's most praised element was the chemistry between Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, whose romantic scenes were unusually explicit for a mainstream studio film and whose banter felt genuinely spontaneous.

The pharmaceutical industry satire, depicting sales reps as charismatic hustlers competing for doctors' prescription pads, provided sharp comedy. Love & Other Drugs earned $103 million worldwide on a $30 million budget.
